What is the difference between a virgin and not virgin?

A virgin means that you never have had sex. If you are NOT a virgin, then that means that you have had sex. "Sex" includes what goes "in" or "in" (oral or vaginal), but the word virgin applies specifically to a person who has not had intercourse. But, oral sex and vaginal sex carry the same risks of STDs.


What is the rithem method?

What time is very dangerous to make sex in if you do not want to get pregnant?

Well sperm can survive up to 72 hours in the vagina. So 3-4 days before your menstrual cycle to 3-4 days after the bleeding stops is when the female is most fertile. The best way to find this out is to go to a drugstore a get a ovulation kit to test the female when her ovulation is at the highest. On those days it would be the safest to avoid sex. If you do not wish to become pregnant, you have two options; abstinence, or birth control. If you do not use some type protection, you will be at risk of becoming pregnant no matter what time you engage in sexual intercourse. Contrary to popular belief, women can even get pregnant on their period. While not likely, it is still possible. In addition, using a condom will better protect you from contracting STDs.


What will happen if a guy pees into a girl's vagina?

Urine contains many body toxins that the kidneys filter out because they are harmful to the body. Passing urine in to this part of the body can transfer bacteria and viruses which can cause infection in the female. Added to this is that some females may have such infections as thrush (as a common occurrence) Urine coming in to contact with any damaged tissue will be painful, urine coming in to contact with infected or damaged tissues inside the cervix etc will cause significant discomfort at the very least. Added to this is the issue of unprotected sex where STDs are transferred and unwanted pregnancies occur.
